Evil Dead 4

Started by Primitive Screwhead #12 pages

Looks like this thread needs to be resurrected. I got around to thinking about how a fourth Evil Dead story would be handled, when the following popped into my head: which ending in Army of Darkness would be more suitable to pick up from, the theatrical release or the more post-apocalyptic alternative ending?

Personally, I think the original release would not be ideal. All movies have Ash as the loner... putting him in the urban setting of Detroit will really have him out of his element. Haivng Ash struggle to find signs of humanity in a post-holocaust environment would seem so much more appropriate. Plus imagine what the evolution of the Deadites could spawn in terms of creature types after all those years had passed.

With Columbia Pictures offering large cheques to Sam Rami to make more Spiderman films, the chances of a fourth Evil Dead are becoming less likely (in the near future anyway), i remember reading or hearing that Ash's first game outing (i.e. Evil Dead : Hail To The King) was as close as fans would get to an Evil Dead four. Although the concept behind Evil Dead : A Fistful of Boomsticks does sound pretty cool.

i know you guys know but all of the Evil Dead movies are horror classics always and forever

Sam Raimi wouldn't necessarily have to direct for a fourth Evil Dead. Army of Darkness was handled by Dino DiLaurentis, and he did a pretty commendable job keeping the dark humor found in Raimi's Evil Dead.

I know, but Sam Raimi in my personal opnion is the only person who could do the Evil Dead series justice if a fourth film was to be created although Dino DiLaurentis efforts on Army of Darkness proves he is a worthy substitute, my first choice would still have to be Raimi.

i dont think this movies should be made!

why not?

Huh?! What?! Do you mean to say Sam Raimi did not direct Army of Darkness? HELLO?! He 'did' direct the film.
